Whether you dashed into Boston, Massachussetts, just to catch a Red Sox game or you were staying in a hotel near Fenway Park stadium, you've got a flight to catch. Boston's extensive train and bus system can get you there, as well as taxi service. If you're really short on time, a cab may be your best bet, but you'll save money getting to the airport if you use Boston's transit system.

Train Service

From Fenway Park, walk northwest on Yawkey Way and turn right on Brookline Avenue, where the Kenmore train station is. Get on a Green Line light rail train going towards North Station. Get off at Government Center. Transfer to the Blue Line subway going towards Wonderland and take it to the Airport Subway station. From the Airport station, get on the airport shuttle bus, which will take you to the arrivals area of Logan Airport. It can take anywhere from 40 to 50 minutes using the train to get to the airport from Fenway Park during regular service hours.

Bus Service

For the easiest route with the least amount of transfers, walk a few blocks north from Fenway Park to the bus stop opposite the Yawkey Way Light Rail Station. Take Bus #8 going towards Harbor Point and get off at Dudley Station. Transfer to the Silver Line #4 Bus going towards South Station. Get off at the corner of Essex Street and Atlantic Avenue. From there, you will have to walk across the street to the front of the Amtrak station to take the Silver Line #1 Bus which will take you straight to the arrivals terminal at the airport. Depending on traffic and stops, taking the bus may take anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes to get you to the airport.

Taxi Cab Service

You'll find plenty of cabs to hail outside of Fenway Park, but you can also call one of the local cab companies if you feel it is necessary. The amount of time it will take you to get to the airport depends almost entirely on the traffic at the time of the day and your driver's knowledge of the fastest routes to get there. Even if there is traffic, a savvy driver may know back streets that will help you avoid most of it. If you are in a rush, the cab is your best option, taking as little as 15 minutes without traffic.
